Long, languorous walks by Chastity woods,
Frolicking winds and froggy hoods

Walking hand in hand,
Peering at the verdant land

Inhaling the whiff of crisp spring leaves,
Laughing about our pet peeves

Nuzzling up to a sweet banter,
Whimsical emotions stealthily saunter

Gazing at her hazel eyes,
Startled by a parakeet’s cacophonic cries

Rebuking the intruder with frivolous bamboozle,
Longing eyes that continue the carousal

Give in to the patch of green,
Regaling in our new-found love’s sheen

Chastity woods is all so pure,
Another redolent love gives into its lure
